Outrage Over 'Women Barred' Row, Taliban Minister's Taj Mahal Visit Scrapped

This special report focuses on the cancelled Agra visit of Afghanistan's Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi. His planned trip to the Taj Mahal was called off following a significant controversy. The uproar began after 'women journalists were barred from entering the press conference addressed by Taliban-controlled Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi at the Afghanistan Embassy in New Delhi'. The incident, which took place during the first visit by a senior Taliban minister to India since the group returned to power, sparked widespread condemnation from political leaders and the Editors Guild of India. While official sources did not state a reason for the cancellation of the Agra visit, it came directly amidst the intense backlash over the exclusion of women reporters from the diplomatic press briefing in Delhi.
